Never in a million years did I ever guess that there is an entire industry which supports the dream of dollhouse ownership. It is reassuring to learn that I'm not alone in the desire to indulge my inner child. I was able to get this dollhouse kit from a toy store for $28 on-line. It is manufactured by Greenleaf. Many others are more expensive. My thinking went something like this. Well I've always dreamed of owning my own dollhouse so why not see what's available by way of the internet. I love the way the colors work on this finished dollhouse. It will take me many weeks to get something that looks like this beauty! I have so much to learn. First step is to read the directions. I've done that however I'm back searching the internet for tips on painting and gluing.

When I was 10, I had a major case of the green eyed monster when my cousin received a dollhouse for Christmas. I remember this moment in my life as if it happened yesterday. She showed me her gift and did not invite me to play along with her as I watched all the action. I started wondering about a year ago if it would be weird for me to buy a dollhouse as a decorative accent to our home. The magic of google did the rest. I ordered a dollhouse kit and now it's up to me. Jennie hope you don't mind shorter walks this week.

Sometimes I wonder with all the sweet blankets I could buy, why do I spend so many hours making them. I no longer remember how many I have made and given away. I'd rather knit because I go off in the land of Knit and Create. This time around it was the crochet hook that called my name. These little flowers are very easy to make. I found the pattern and thought I would give it a try. Here it is, resting like a queen in our vacation home.
